Four Preschool Winter Stories
The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats
Keats captures that childhood joy of playing in the snow. The boy, Peter, puts on his snowsuit and heads out into the beautiful snow. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful. It is full of fun. Peter takes some snow home with him in his pocket only to find that it melted while he was taking a bath. Oh no! Is that the last of snow Not to worry, the snow is waiting for Peter in the morning.
How to Catch a Yeti (雪人) by Adam Wallace
In this silly snowy adventure, the kids set a whole bunch of clever traps to catch a yeti.
However, the yeti easily escapes and the traps backfire on the kids with funny results. If you look closely at the illustrations, you can find “hidden” members of the yeti’s family watching the kids.
Winter Dance by Marion Dane Bauer
This is a sweet story that teaches kids about how animals spend the winter. As the first snowflake falls on the fox’s nose, fox wonders what he is supposed to do in winter. The other forest animals tell him how they prepare for winter. Some fly south, others store food, and some hibernate (冬眠) . Unfortunately none of these ideas will work for fox. Finally, another fox comes along and shares what foxes do in winter— they dance in the falling snow!
Bear is Awake: an Alphabet Story by Hannah E. Harrison
With hardly any words, the reader pieces the story together from the fantastic illustrations and the alphabet letter and corresponding word on each page. In this book, a bear awakens too early (A=awake) and sets off in search of food. It finds a little girl in a cabin, who, through a series of humorous events, helps the bear return to its home and go back to sleep.
21. In which book is the leading character Peter

Kristin Harila barely missed her chance to set a new record this year, but at least she’s getting a consolation (安慰) prize.
Harila was named European Adventurer of the Year on November 30, 2022 during ISPO, the world’s largest sports fair in Munich, Germany. The organization behind the award spoke highly of Harila’s achievements in the Greater Ranges.
“She is 36 years old and the first from Norway to win the award,” the group said in a news release. “During 2022, she has reached 12 of the world’s 14 highest peaks over 8, 000 metres. With her strong spirit, speed, and spirit of adventure, Kristin Harila has shown the world that women can play in the same level as men.”
This year, Harila tried to break the record of Nirmal Purja of Nepal. In 2019, he summited (登上顶峰) all 14 of the 8, 000 m peaks in 189 days. It later turned out that Purjahad settled for sub-summits on two of the peaks. He returned in subsequent seasons and summited Dhaulagiri and Manaslu properly, making his actual record more like two years. But Harila almost certainly would have defeated Purja’s original six-month time had she received a permit from China to climb Cho Oyu and Shishapangma. China has been closed to foreign mountaineers for some reason. She attempted Cho Oyu from Nepal in the fall, but heavy snow from an endless monsoon (季风) ended that attempt.
Yet Harila still managed to set several other records during the attempt. Harila is the fastest person to summit six 8, 000 m mountains in spring in Nepal (25 days) and the fastest woman from peak to peak between Everest and Lhotse (8. 5 hours) .
“It is a great honour to win the award as European Adventurer of the Year” Harila said this week. “My goal was to draw attention to women who engage in mountain climbing and other expedition (探险) sports.”
Despite the disappointment, Harila shows no signs of slowing down. She heads back to Nepal on Thursday to have another go at Cho Oyu, this time in winter. She also plans to redo her 14 peaks project in 2023.
24. What can we know about Harila
A. She is the fastest person from peak to peak.
B. She summited all 14 of the 8, 000 m peaks in 189 days.
C. She was named European Adventurer of the Year in 2022.
D. She is the fastest person to Cho Oyu from Nepal in the fall.
25 What was Harila’s target
A To set new world records.
B. To defeat Nirmal Purja of Nepal.
C. To raise awareness for women involved in expedition sports.
D. To encourage more women to take part in expedition activities.
26. Which of the following can best describe Harila
A. Kind and strong. B. Helpful and careful.
C. Strict and hardworking. D. Adventurous and determined.
27. Where can you read the text probably
A. In a newspaper. B. In a travel book.
C. In a textbook. D. In a science magazine.

The Amazon Rainforest is the largest rainforest in the world. This extraordinary tropical jungle is roughly the same size as 48 states in the U. S. The Amazon surrounds the Amazon River and its many tributaries. The Amazon River is the largest river in the world by volume discharged. It stretches 4, 225 miles — from the peaks of the Peruvian Andes to the beautiful beaches of Brazil.
Scientists estimate there are 390 billion trees in the Amazon Rainforest, including over 16, 000 species. The Amazon supports at least 427 mammal species, 3, 000 species of freshwater fish, over 1, 300 species of birds, 378 types of reptiles, and 400 species of amphibians. Notice how we didn’t mention any invertebrates (无脊椎动物), like insects and arachnids That’s because the Amazon’s gargantuan population of invertebrate species climbs well into the millions. And that only includes the species we’ve identified so far!
But how does this giant ecosystem support so many diverse organisms Scientists divide the Amazon into four ecological layers: the forest floor, the understory, the canopy and the overstory. Each layer plays an important role in the health and survival of the rainforest. The forest floor is where the rainforest finds its humble beginnings.
The roots of towering trees grow in thick, low-nutrient soil laid over a layer of volcanic rock. Without deep, rich soil, the forest floor’s tropical vegetation depends on decomposers (分解物), like bacteria, fungi (真菌) and insects. These essential organisms pull nutrients from dead organic material, like leaves, wood, and animal bodies.
Vital for nutrient cycling, vigorous mushrooms, like the scarlet cup and the veiled lady, decorate the forest floor. Some of these fungi can give out light. When the sun sets over the Amazon, these radiant mushrooms light the forest floor like magical nightlights. Very little sunlight penetrates (穿透) the upper layers of the rainforest, so the forest floor remains dark and damp year-round.
28. What does the underlined word “tributaries” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Origins. B. Banks. C. Branches. D. Types.
29. How does the author develop the second paragraph
A. By listing figures. B. By giving definition.
C. By making comparisons. D. By reasoning and analyzing.
30. Where are the rainforest’s humble origins
A. The canopy. B. The overstory. C. The understory. D. The forest floor.
31. What’s the best title for the text
A. The Secrets of the Amazon Rainforest
B. The Functions of the Amazon Rainforest
C. The Evolution History of the Amazon Rainforest
D. The Importance of Protecting the Amazon Rainforest

From ordering food to buying a new book to making a charitable donation, more and more decisions that used to be made on paper are now being made on digital devices like tablets, phones, and computers. And this trend towards digitalization has many advantages, in particular when it comes to efficiency and sustainability — but could it also be negatively influencing how we make decisions
We conducted a series of studies with more than 2, 500 participants across the U. S. and China to explore the impact of the medium you use to make a decision, with a particular focus on decisions with some sort of moral component, such as whether or not to make a donation to a charity, or whether to choose a healthy or unhealthy entrée (主菜) at a restaurant. We asked the participants to make a variety of these sorts of choices using either a paper form or a digital tablet, and despite controlling for all other variables (变量) , we consistently found that people who used paper made more moral decisions than those who used a digital device: For example, participants who read their choices and made a selection on paper were significantly more likely to give money to charity, choose a healthy entree, and opt for an educational book rather than something more entertaining.
Why might this be Our research suggests that the key mechanism driving this effect is how “real” the decision feels. We asked participants in two of our studies to describe how real a decision felt, as well as the extent to which they believed the decision as representing who they were as people, and they consistently indicated that making a choice on paper felt more real and representative than making the same decision on a digital device.
It may seem like a minor detail, but our research shows that the medium with which your customers, employees, or community members make a decision can have a major impact on the choices they make. This has implications (暗示) for marketers, policymakers, and anyone seeking to encourage any sort of virtuous behaviour. For example, to encourage customers to choose healthier options, restaurants might consider opting for paper rather than digital menus. Similarly, parents and educators might opt to provide students with paper rather than online book order forms, to increase the chances that they’ll choose educational reading materials.
32. What do we know about the studies
A. The participants are all from America.
B. The participants are divided into three groups.
C. The studies pay special attention to decisions with moral component.
D. The studies prove the efficiency and availability of the digital device.
33. What main mechanism is responsible for this effect mentioned in the text
A. The awareness of environmental protection.
B. People’s objection to trend towards digitalization.
C. The real feeling caused by making decisions on paper.
D. People’s care about their identity when making decisions on paper.
34. What can we infer about the research finding from the last paragraph
A. It has practical value. B. It needs improvement.
C. It can stand the test of time. D. It makes sense in every situation.
35. What’s the main idea of the text
A. Pen and paper will never be replaced.
B. We encourage everyone to make a responsible choice.
C. We make more moral choices when using pen and paper.
D. Educational reading materials should be provided in the form of paper.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Lunch hour. Escaping from my office, I fled down Main Street in pursuit of freedom from the routine of the day. An old bell clanged(叮当作响)against the door of a dusty used bookstore when I pushed it open.
Looking through the horizon of shelves and lots of magazines, my eyes suddenly met his and my heart began to race. They were the blazing(闪烁) orange eyes of an African lion on the cover of a National Geographic magazine. I hadn’t seen those eyes in thirty years, but their impact on me hadn’t faded. As a kid I used to dream about Africa, living with wild animals.
The opportunity of spending a “gap year” volunteering in Africa or joining the Youth Corps had long since passed. Or had it Yes, it’s true I couldn’t go to Africa for several months, but maybe I could volunteer in Africa for a few weeks.
Over the next several weeks I began to budget and save, determined to make it happen. The big day came. I arrived and met my boss, a young South African ranger(护林员)named Gary. He said, “Let me guess, you’re here because you dreamed of Africa.”
“Yes!” I smiled
“Well it’s time to wake up. This is a working game reserve. These are wild animals.”
“Okay.”
“You’re going to have to get out of your comfort zone, take some risks, Have the courage of a lion.”
The next morning when we began our patrol(巡逻)in an open-air jeep, giant African elephants appeared in the morning mist. I was no longer dreaming in the pages of a National Geographic magazine. I was living them.
Moments later Gary parked the jeep and handed me a heavy shovel(铲子) and said, “Time to shovel dung(粪).” Elephant dung. Mountains of it. It will be used as fertilizer in the reserves sustainable vegetable garden.
Within fifteen minutes my back was aching, and my new work gloves were stretched out and so slippery with dung and sweat that they refused to stay on my hands. This wasn’t the dream of Africa I had.

I began to question myself.

A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Favourable.
【答案】17. B 18. B 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【原文】The wide application of artificial intelligence in our lives is creating waves. Three universities in Australia have adopted what seems like a landmark policy. The three institutions are allowing students to use Al when taking assessments, although under strict conditions. Professor Romy Lawson said, “Instead of banning students from using such programmes, we aim to assist academic staff and students to use digital tools to support learning.” The Internet is filled with AI text generators. These can be used to create essays that look authentic enough to fool examiners.
Artificial Intelligence is posing huge challenges to exam fairness. It is the biggest destructor since calculators were allowed into maths tests. The latest dilemma for educators comes from a language processing chatbox called ChatGPT. This can produce highly authentic human-like content on any subject in seconds. It has caused fears that students will use it to write essays. The University of South Australia’s Dr Vitomir Kovanovic said teachers needed to accept AI. He said, “Teachers need to accept AI. You cannot stop it. The alternative is the Middle Ages-going to pen and paper. Universities needed to change with the times.” He added, “It’s like having a driving school, but teaching people how to ride horses.”

Four Preschool Winter Stories
The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats
Keats captures that childhood joy of playing in the snow. The boy, Peter, puts on his snowsuit and heads out into the beautiful snow. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful. It is full of fun. Peter takes some snow home with him in his pocket only to find that it melted while he was taking a bath. Oh no! Is that the last of snow Not to worry, the snow is waiting for Peter in the morning.
How to Catch a Yeti (雪人) by Adam Wallace
In this silly snowy adventure, the kids set a whole bunch of clever traps to catch a yeti.
However, the yeti easily escapes and the traps backfire on the kids with funny results. If you look closely at the illustrations, you can find “hidden” members of the yeti’s family watching the kids.
Winter Dance by Marion Dane Bauer
This is a sweet story that teaches kids about how animals spend the winter. As the first snowflake falls on the fox’s nose, fox wonders what he is supposed to do in winter. The other forest animals tell him how they prepare for winter. Some fly south, others store food, and some hibernate (冬眠) . Unfortunately none of these ideas will work for fox. Finally, another fox comes along and shares what foxes do in winter— they dance in the falling snow!
Bear is Awake: an Alphabet Story by Hannah E. Harrison
With hardly any words, the reader pieces the story together from the fantastic illustrations and the alphabet letter and corresponding word on each page. In this book, a bear awakens too early (A=awake) and sets off in search of food. It finds a little girl in a cabin, who, through a series of humorous events, helps the bear return to its home and go back to sleep.

Kristin Harila barely missed her chance to set a new record this year, but at least she’s getting a consolation (安慰) prize.
Harila was named European Adventurer of the Year on November 30, 2022 during ISPO, the world’s largest sports fair in Munich, Germany. The organization behind the award spoke highly of Harila’s achievements in the Greater Ranges.
“She is 36 years old and the first from Norway to win the award,” the group said in a news release. “During 2022, she has reached 12 of the world’s 14 highest peaks over 8, 000 metres. With her strong spirit, speed, and spirit of adventure, Kristin Harila has shown the world that women can play in the same level as men.”
This year, Harila tried to break the record of Nirmal Purja of Nepal. In 2019, he summited (登上顶峰) all 14 of the 8, 000 m peaks in 189 days. It later turned out that Purjahad settled for sub-summits on two of the peaks. He returned in subsequent seasons and summited Dhaulagiri and Manaslu properly, making his actual record more like two years. But Harila almost certainly would have defeated Purja’s original six-month time had she received a permit from China to climb Cho Oyu and Shishapangma. China has been closed to foreign mountaineers for some reason. She attempted Cho Oyu from Nepal in the fall, but heavy snow from an endless monsoon (季风) ended that attempt.
Yet Harila still managed to set several other records during the attempt. Harila is the fastest person to summit six 8, 000 m mountains in spring in Nepal (25 days) and the fastest woman from peak to peak between Everest and Lhotse (8. 5 hours) .
“It is a great honour to win the award as European Adventurer of the Year,” Harila said this week. “My goal was to draw attention to women who engage in mountain climbing and other expedition (探险) sports.”
Despite the disappointment, Harila shows no signs of slowing down. She heads back to Nepal on Thursday to have another go at Cho Oyu, this time in winter. She also plans to redo her 14 peaks project in 2023.
24. What can we know about Harila
A. She is the fastest person from peak to peak.
B. She summited all 14 of the 8, 000 m peaks in 189 days.
C. She was named European Adventurer of the Year in 2022.
D. She is the fastest person to Cho Oyu from Nepal in the fall.
25. What was Harila’s target
A. To set new world records.
B. To defeat Nirmal Purja of Nepal.
C. To raise awareness for women involved in expedition sports.
D. To encourage more women to take part in expedition activities.
26. Which of the following can best describe Harila
A. Kind and strong. B. Helpful and careful.
C. Strict and hardworking. D. Adventurous and determined.
27. Where can you read the text probably

The Amazon Rainforest is the largest rainforest in the world. This extraordinary tropical jungle is roughly the same size as 48 states in the U. S. The Amazon surrounds the Amazon River and its many tributaries. The Amazon River is the largest river in the world by volume discharged. It stretches 4, 225 miles — from the peaks of the Peruvian Andes to the beautiful beaches of Brazil.
Scientists estimate there are 390 billion trees in the Amazon Rainforest, including over 16, 000 species. The Amazon supports at least 427 mammal species, 3, 000 species of freshwater fish, over 1, 300 species of birds, 378 types of reptiles, and 400 species of amphibians. Notice how we didn’t mention any invertebrates (无脊椎动物), like insects and arachnids That’s because the Amazon’s gargantuan population of invertebrate species climbs well into the millions. And that only includes the species we’ve identified so far!
But how does this giant ecosystem support so many diverse organisms Scientists divide the Amazon into four ecological layers: the forest floor, the understory, the canopy and the overstory. Each layer plays an important role in the health and survival of the rainforest. The forest floor is where the rainforest finds its humble beginnings.
The roots of towering trees grow in thick, low-nutrient soil laid over a layer of volcanic rock. Without deep, rich soil, the forest floor’s tropical vegetation depends on decomposers (分解物), like bacteria, fungi (真菌) and insects. These essential organisms pull nutrients from dead organic material, like leaves, wood, and animal bodies.
Vital for nutrient cycling, vigorous mushrooms, like the scarlet cup and the veiled lady, decorate the forest floor. Some of these fungi can give out light. When the sun sets over the Amazon, these radiant mushrooms light the forest floor like magical nightlights. Very little sunlight penetrates (穿透) the upper layers of the rainforest, so the forest floor remains dark and damp year-round.
28. What does the underlined word “tributaries” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Origins. B. Banks. C. Branches. D. Types.
29. How does the author develop the second paragraph
A. By listing figures. B. By giving definition.
C. By making comparisons. D. By reasoning and analyzing.
30. Where are the rainforest’s humble origins
A. The canopy. B. The overstory. C. The understory. D. The forest floor.
31. What’s the best title for the text
A. The Secrets of the Amazon Rainforest
B. The Functions of the Amazon Rainforest
C. The Evolution History of the Amazon Rainforest
D. The Importance of Protecting the Amazon Rainforest
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章向我们介绍了亚马逊雨林的一些知识。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段上文“The Amazon Rainforest is the largest rainforest in the world. This extraordinary tropical jungle is roughly the same size as 48 states in the U. S. (亚马逊雨林是世界上最大的雨林。这片非同寻常的热带丛林与美国48个州的面积大致相同)”和下文“The Amazon River is the largest river in the world by volume discharged. It stretches 4, 225 miles— from the peaks of the Peruvian Andes to the beautiful beaches of Brazil.(亚马逊河是世界上流量最大的河流。它绵延4225英里，从秘鲁安第斯山脉的山峰一直延伸到巴西美丽的海滩。)”可知，亚马逊很大，亚马逊河很长，可得出亚马逊围绕着亚马逊河及其众多支流。由此可知，tributaries意为“支流”。A. Origins起源；B. Banks银行，岸边；C. Branches支流；D. Types类型。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Scientists estimate there are 390 billion trees in the Amazon Rainforest, including over 16, 000 species. The Amazon supports at least 427 mammal species, 3, 000 species of freshwater fish, over 1, 300 species of birds, 378 types of reptiles, and 400 species of amphibians.(科学家估计亚马逊雨林中有3900亿棵树，包括超过16000个物种。亚马逊河流域生活着至少427种哺乳动物、3000种淡水鱼、1300多种鸟类、378种爬行动物和400种两栖动物。)”可知，作者通过列举数字展开了第二段。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The forest floor is where the rainforest finds its humble beginnings.(森林的地面是雨林发现它卑微起源的地方。)”可知，雨林卑微的起源是森林的地面。故选D。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“The Amazon Rainforest is the largest rainforest in the world. This extraordinary tropical jungle is roughly the same size as 48 states in the U. S.(亚马逊雨林是世界上最大的雨林。这片非凡的热带丛林的面积与美国的48个州大致相同。)”可知，本文主要介绍了亚马逊雨林的特点和生态系统。因此本文的最佳标题A. The Secrets of the Amazon Rainforest (亚马逊雨林的秘密)。故选A。

From ordering food to buying a new book to making a charitable donation, more and more decisions that used to be made on paper are now being made on digital devices like tablets, phones, and computers. And this trend towards digitalization has many advantages, in particular when it comes to efficiency and sustainability — but could it also be negatively influencing how we make decisions
We conducted a series of studies with more than 2, 500 participants across the U. S. and China to explore the impact of the medium you use to make a decision, with a particular focus on decisions with some sort of moral component, such as whether or not to make a donation to a charity, or whether to choose a healthy or unhealthy entrée (主菜) at a restaurant. We asked the participants to make a variety of these sorts of choices using either a paper form or a digital tablet, and despite controlling for all other variables (变量) , we consistently found that people who used paper made more moral decisions than those who used a digital device: For example, participants who read their choices and made a selection on paper were significantly more likely to give money to charity, choose a healthy entree, and opt for an educational book rather than something more entertaining.
Why might this be Our research suggests that the key mechanism driving this effect is how “real” the decision feels. We asked participants in two of our studies to describe how real a decision felt, as well as the extent to which they believed the decision as representing who they were as people, and they consistently indicated that making a choice on paper felt more real and representative than making the same decision on a digital device.
It may seem like a minor detail, but our research shows that the medium with which your customers, employees, or community members make a decision can have a major impact on the choices they make. This has implications (暗示) for marketers, policymakers, and anyone seeking to encourage any sort of virtuous behaviour. For example, to encourage customers to choose healthier options, restaurants might consider opting for paper rather than digital menus. Similarly, parents and educators might opt to provide students with paper rather than online book order forms, to increase the chances that they’ll choose educational reading materials.
32. What do we know about the studies
A. The participants are all from America.
B. The participants are divided into three groups.
C. The studies pay special attention to decisions with moral component.
D. The studies prove the efficiency and availability of the digital device.
33. What main mechanism is responsible for this effect mentioned in the text
A. The awareness of environmental protection.
B. People’s objection to trend towards digitalization.
C. The real feeling caused by making decisions on paper.
D. People’s care about their identity when making decisions on paper.
34. What can we infer about the research finding from the last paragraph
A. It has practical value. B. It needs improvement.
C. It can stand the test of time. D. It makes sense in every situation.
35. What’s the main idea of the text
A. Pen and paper will never be replaced.
B. We encourage everyone to make a responsible choice.
C. We make more moral choices when using pen and paper.
D. Educational reading materials should be provided in the form of paper.
【答案】32. C 33. C 34. A 35. C
【解析】

【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“We conducted a series of studies with more than 2, 500 participants across the U. S. and China to explore the impact of the medium you use to make a decision, with a particular focus on decisions with some sort of moral component, such as whether or not to make a donation to a charity, or whether to choose a healthy or unhealthy entrée (主菜) at a restaurant.(我们对美国和中国的2500多名参与者进行了一系列研究，以探索你用来做决定的媒介的影响，特别关注带有某种道德成分的决定，比如是否向慈善机构捐款，或者在餐馆里选择健康或不健康的主菜。)”可知，这些研究特别关注带有道德成分的决定。故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Our research suggests that the key mechanism driving this effect is how “real” the decision feels.(我们的研究表明，驱动这种效应的关键机制是决定给人的“真实”感觉。)”和“…making a choice on paper felt more real and representative than making the same decision on a digital device.(……在纸上做出选择比在数字设备上做出同样的决定更真实、更有代表性。)”可知，纸上决策带来的真实感受是造成这种效果的原因。故选C。

【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“We asked the participants to make a variety of these sorts of choices using either a paper form or a digital tablet, and despite controlling for all other variables (变量) , we consistently found that people who used paper made more moral decisions than those who used a digital device(我们要求参与者使用纸质表格或数字平板电脑做出各种各样的选择，尽管控制了所有其他变量，但我们一致发现，使用纸质表格的人比使用数字设备的人做出更多的道德决定)”和全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了数字化趋势对人们决策的影响。作者进行了一系列研究，发现使用纸质表格做出的决策比使用数字设备做出的决策更具有道德性。由此可知，C项：We make more moral choices when using pen and paper.(当我们用笔和纸时，我们会做出更多的道德选择。)是文章的主旨大意。故选C。

【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意：《千里江山图》自12世纪创作以来，一直被奉为中国传统绘画的一副杰作。masterpiece为可数名词，此处表示泛指，且masterpiece发音以辅音音素开头，需用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【57题详解】
考查形容词。句意：但也许和作品本身一样令人惊奇的事实是，它是由一个青少年创作的。as…as…为形容词/副词原级比较结构，修饰名词the fact，需用修饰物的-ing结尾的形容词amazing。故填amazing。
【58题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意同上。设空处在从句中作谓语，根据上下文可知，这幅作品是由12世纪的一位少年创作的，所以时态为一般过去时，主语为it，指代the work，和谓语动词create为被动关系，需用被动语态，主语为it，be动词用was。故填was created。

【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。句中已有谓语动词displays，设空处用非谓语动词作后置定语，修饰running water，cover与running water之间为逻辑动宾关系，需用过去分词形式。故填covered。

Dear Li Hua, I don’t like watching short videos, but all of my classmates do. Sometimes I can’t catch up with their conversations and jokes. I don’t want to be left out, but I also don’t want to waste time on meaningless content. What should I do Yours, Ellen

Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】Dear Ellen,
I know how you feel. Sometimes there is a difference between the people we hang around with and us. As a result, we may feel torn between being ourselves and being forced to follow suit. However, it is important to remember that it is natural.
First, ask yourself if it is really worth being upset that you are not close to people with whom you have very little in common. Then stay strong and positive. There are plenty of people with the same interests and hobbiesas you out there. Also, I’m proud of you: Short videos are incredibly addictive and everyone should avoid them.
You’re lucky that this comes naturally to you.
I hope you can follow your heart and make full use of time.
Yours,
Li Hua

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Lunch hour. Escaping from my office, I fled down Main Street in pursuit of freedom from the routine of the day. An old bell clanged(叮当作响)against the door of a dusty used bookstore when I pushed it open.
Looking through the horizon of shelves and lots of magazines, my eyes suddenly met his and my heart began to race. They were the blazing(闪烁) orange eyes of an African lion on the cover of a National Geographic magazine. I hadn’t seen those eyes in thirty years, but their impact on me hadn’t faded. As a kid I used to dream about Africa, living with wild animals.
The opportunity of spending a “gap year” volunteering in Africa or joining the Youth Corps had long since passed. Or had it Yes, it’s true I couldn’t go to Africa for several months, but maybe I could volunteer in Africa for a few weeks.
Over the next several weeks I began to budget and save, determined to make it happen. The big day came. I arrived and met my boss, a young South African ranger(护林员)named Gary. He said, “Let me guess, you’re here because you dreamed of Africa.”
“Yes!” I smiled.
“Well it’s time to wake up. This is a working game reserve. These are wild animals.”
“Okay.”
“You’re going to have to get out of your comfort zone, take some risks, Have the courage of a lion.”
The next morning when we began our patrol(巡逻)in an open-air jeep, giant African elephants appeared in the morning mist. I was no longer dreaming in the pages of a National Geographic magazine. I was living them.
Moments later Gary parked the jeep and handed me a heavy shovel(铲子) and said, “Time to shovel dung(粪).” Elephant dung. Mountains of it. It will be used as fertilizer in the reserves sustainable vegetable garden.
Within fifteen minutes my back was aching, and my new work gloves were stretched out and so slippery with dung and sweat that they refused to stay on my hands. This wasn’t the dream of Africa I had.
注意：

I began to question myself.

Paragraph 2:
But at that moment I remembered Gary’s words “step out of your comfort zone”.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
I began to question myself. You came all the way to Africa to shovel elephant dung Maybe my dream of Africa was a silly childhood vision. Maybe I was lost and should have spent this money on therapy instead. What would my friends and co-workers say if they could see me now knee-deep in dung, barely able to lift this heavy shovel They’d think I was a fool. Humiliation began to creep over me, engulf me even. Throwing the shovel away, I dropped myself onto the ground.
Paragraph 2:
But at that moment I remembered Gary’s words“step out of your comfort zone”. I needed to have the courage of a lion. Lions don’t complain. They’ re the king of the jungle because there’s nowhere they won’t go. And I’m in Africa. This elephant dung will help feed a village, and I get to contribute to something meaningful. Get out of your head and focus on that. I dug in deep. This was my dream. As I became heavy with appreciation, the shovel lightened up. The joy of being in this place was even greater than I had imagined and dreamed.
